Just wanted to share a trick that fixed a problem I had on my 00 3.2TL.
Last night, as I was leaving my subdivision, I had the wipers on
intermittent, and went to hit the washer. As soon as I did, the wipers
quit- dead, immobile, unresponsive. No switch movement worked.
I checked all of the fuses, and not one was blown. Obviously, I thought,
I fried the wiper relay. A quick search online reveled that I could get
the part delivered for about $37.
A coworker of mine who is good with cars suggested that before I order
the relay, to just disconnect both cables of the battery for about 5-10
minutes, then reconnect them and try the wipers.
I did, and son of a gun, they worked.
At the very least, he saved me $37 and some of my own time. Had I taken
this to a shop, I hate to think of what they would have charged.
Just figured I share this with you folks.
Much Respect,

next time just disconnect the ground ( - ) side for the same effect
what the effect (that brought them back to life) is, well, I have no idea

If you have anti-theft on the radio, you will need the code to bring
it back to life.
